Subject[PATCH] firmware_loader: Expand Firmware upload error codes with firmware invalid error
No error code are available to signal an invalid firmware content.
Drivers that can check the firmware content validity can not return this
specific failure to the user-space

Expand the firmware error code with an additional code:
- "firmware invalid" code which can be used when the provided firmware
is invalid

This patch was initially submitted as part of a net patch series.
Conor expressed interest in using it in a different subsystem.
Consequently, I extracted it from the series and submitted it separately
to the main tree, driver-core.
